Normal Skin
Who has normal skin?
Normal skin generally refers to well balanced skin - while individuals with normal skin may have a bit of an oily T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), they have an overall balanced amount of sebum and moisture where the skin is neither too dry nor too oily. However, problems can still arise if you have this normal skin type, you may be less prone to breakouts and acne but if you don’t take proper care of your skin, this can still happen.
Tips for normal skin

AM Routine
1. Cleanser
We want to make sure we are removing any build up that might have happened throughout the night
2. Toner
This step clears any oil that your cleanser may have forgotten and also helps to balance out your skin’s pH
3. Exfoliate
Exfoliate once per week to help remove dead skin cells and unclog your pores, but really try to keep this once a week so you don’t strip your skin of all it’s natural oils, especially in your more dry areas

Serum’s are great for hydrating your skin, especially ones which contain hyaluronic acid
